Nam Sang Wai

 

Date: 20 Feb 2011

Venue: Nam Sang Wai in New Territories

 

Invited by Anna, Ricky and I joined her and went to Nam Sang Wai on a cloudy Sunday - it wasn’t a very cheerful day!  Now when I think about it, it could only be a cloudy day that you could take some moody pictures…

 

 

This is what you see when you get into NSW.

 

 

After crossing a stream, you step into Nam Sang Wai.  The vintage wooden floor… hm, I had a nice feeling about this place.

 

 

 

There are indeed people living there!  Actually NSW is a huge wetland area where is home to many birds.

 

   

 

There was a fire broke out earlier this year… as you can see from the photos, it kinda giving some eerie feeling… a cloudy day, burned wood… all was quite depressing.

 

 

 

Grass is slowly growing back - there is always hope.

 

 

 

There is a pond inside NSW, and a pier too.  Many couples love taking their wedding shots at that spot (on the left).  I don’t see how special it is.  The colours of the place inspire me.

 

 

 

We walked a long way in NSW.  It is a huge place.  You can spend a whole day walking there.  I am serious!  We bumped into this man who uses Nikon too.  He lent me his glass lens and I took some shots.  Wah.  The colours are vivid!

 

 

And we walked pass those abandoned houses… Anna said she felt she was touched by someone - Ricky and I said we didn’t - may be she was touched by something… that idea was very scary!!!

 

 

 

The whole place gave me a very nice feeling.  When we were about to leave (at around 5pm), there was a fog coming… Anna said she couldn’t stay because she had to catch a ferry home, I didn’t want to stay on my own… So we left.  I wish we had stayed for the fog.

 

As I said earlier, NSW is home to many birds.  Even though I didn’t bring my 200mm lens, I still got a nice bird shot :D

 

 

And we left.

 

 

(Anna found this nice grass on our way out) (and that’s her on my right).

Leonardo da Vinci

 

Spent some time in the Museum of Science for a while.  Leo da Vinci amazes me!

 

My mood was unbelievably light.  Everything I saw, I saw beauty in it.

 

…able to observe and record every experiment phenomenon precisely.  He was left-handed with written from right to left… difficult to read and understand…

He’s DA VINCI!  His notes were a mystery, he’s attractive, he’s mystic.

Here is a picture of his handwriting…

I focused all my attention of flight.  How much had he contributed to the world!  To all those places I’ve been… a plane.

My physics was so bad it would make you cry.  I liked the model :p

You must have seen this before!

… and a projector!  He used this to make light for working at night!

 

History repeats itself again and again.  I will have to break through.

On the peak

 

Date: 30 Jan 2011

Venue: The Peak, Hong Kong

 

This was the first outing with my photography crew, missed the last one because I had 2 exams.  It was actually quite fun, didn’t quite work as I had imagined, but our teacher Ban Li gave us advice when we started shooting.  It wasn’t very helpful though, the weather was quite bad - too hazy!

The view was of course magnificent, it was freezing too!  We were all waiting patiently for the haze to “unveil” but it got worse as time went by…

 

The sky was beautiful though!

We waited till 7pm, after the magic hour… Multi-exposure pictures :)  The result looks rather nice though!

 

Anyway, it was a very nice experience to shoot with a group of people, who actually have better gears!  I didn’t even bring my bigger tripod!  Haha, our photography teacher said I should just throw it away :p  And he thought I was a university student!

I wish I had one of those cameras too!  Ban Li is a pro!
